    Question for the pros. How do you "get rid" of a customer?

    A little background. We have a customer that has been on a bi-weekly schedule for over a year. He got in at a rate that I'm no longer comfortable with, but even that I can live with. Around mid December, he decided that he would skip his normal day because it was supposed to rain. Then it...

    Ceramic coating after Headlight restoration?

    Is Dr. Beasley's the stuff? How many pairs of lights will I get out of a kit, I couldn't find that info anywhere. Anything else good? I feel like I should start coating our jobs instead of just hitting them with some sealant.

    Where does everybody stand on priming their pads?

    And different types of pads? Microfiber, LC wool, regular foam? A watch a few internet videos and it seems that everybody has a different opinion. I'm curious as to what the general consensus is for different types of pads and/or compounds, polishes, waxes. Thanks in advance.

    Any idea who makes this pad?

    I can't remember where I got them, but they're great for doing headlights. 3" pad fits perfectly on a 3" back plate, really thick. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Which bottles hold up the best?

    I thought I was purchasing decent quality bottles, all Tolco 16 and 36 ounces bottles. The clear style. I've lost now 6 of the 36 ounce bottles to my tire cleaner and one with orange degreaser. The bottles are deteriorating and basically falling apart at the threads. Not even from use. I...

    Fair price to charge to take wheels off?

    I have a job tomorrow where we're taking the wheels off. Luckily, it's a neighbor I don't know that walked up to my door, so I'm actually doing it in my garage. I have air, air tools, and a low profile jack. The wheels aren't particularly dirty but he's going to a car show this weekend. I'll...

    Wall Mounted vac for mobile detailing?

    Hey Mike or anybody else with an opinion, we have been considering going from a shop vac style vacuum to a wall mounted unit in our trailer. I'll tell you, I'm really getting tired of lugging the vac in and out of the trailer every job. We have power, most of our customers have power they...

    Our new detail trailer...

    After a while of working out of a full size SUV with a hitch carrier, we finally took the plunge and purchased an enclosed trailer. Got it used with one trip on it for a pretty good price. I built pretty much everything from scratch. The water tank is 100 gallons and sits in a pocket created...
